From the newsEditor’s note: These links are provided with the knowledge that a single newspaper or web story seldom provides the full context or all the details about a particular issue, let alone the “best science.” My intent is to provide a snapshot of forest-related issues that are currently in the public eye and may be of interest to you, the reader. I also provide links to analyses that I think are particularly insightful. Articles are gleaned from various e-newsletters and other sources that cross my desk – and I only read a fraction of these!
